You sound rather new to politics. You completely bypass Newt, mostly out of ignorance. Which is why I say you are terribly inexperienced. Had you been, you would be well aware of who Newt Gingrich is, who led us to new levels of Conservatism during the Reagan and Clinton years.
You also don’t seem to understand that there have been no votes cast yet, and all the National polls are still holding Newt at the top. This thing is far from over.
Romney can’t get above 25%. (There is a solid reason for that.) No matter how hard he tries. And after Iowa, some of the second tier will drop out and the dynamics will change rapidly. Hold your doom and gloom wincing until then.
